The Path to Education (featuring Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty)

In this week’s episode from the HER Archives in the Before Times, I’m talking with podcaster and education advocate, Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty, about how she overcame obstacles on her path to education. Dr. Zaragoza-Petty shares the barriers first generation students encounter on their path to higher education and why it’s important for marginalized people to pursue higher education.
